Is this valid. do they have the right to kick him out?

Question

ok my boyfriend lives w/2 roommates, a couple, they are /were some of our best friends. ANYWAY. my bf has been out of a job for a month so he fell behind on his rent. he is waiting on a check that he THOUGHT was coming in , in the beginning of the month, but instead is coming tomorrow. soooo his roommate paid his share of the rent &utilities. for him ...abou totaling t $350. that check that should be in tomorrow is about $1000 ...so he has no problem paying the roommate back. he agreed he would as SOON AS THE CHECK came in. and yes i realize it is bad to lend people money...

ok well his roommate told him that he's giving him till the end of the month to come up w/what he owes him and that my bf needs to get all his stuff out of the apartment and leave. do u think thats right? i mean...i understand my bf owes him. and he WILL pay him...so after he pays him shouldn't it be ok? i mean is it fair or even valid for the 2 people to tell him he NEEDS to leave?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

Ok...let's review.

Your boyfriend has a job and doesn't have a clue of when he gets paid?

Doesn't sound like any job I have ever had.

Sure he isn't an amateur pharmaceutical sales rep?

That sounds more accurate.

Answer 3

as ur bf's name is in the contract so no one can kick him out.

Answer 4

Well once he is all paid up and settled... what about next month...., and the month after that etc.?

If his name & signiture is on the lease contract - then lawfully he can stay. Though with all this rude treatment from the 'couple', would he even want to stay?!

Answer 5

they probably want someone who has a stable job and will be reliable to pay the rent on time every month and it sounds like there are other interpersonal issues between them if they are so quick to ask him to leave.

Answer 6

If his name is on the lease ... the other two can NOT evict him. The only one who can evict him is the landlord.

Also, they can NOT just stop paying "his part"of the rent or all three will be booted for non-payment.

If they just throw his stuff out, or change the locks, he can sue them for any losses and damages because  they have no right to do it to get rid of him.

Answer 7

The landlord would have to give him no less than a 30 day notice if rent is paid monthly.
